Ten meters directly in front, a young girl held a silver spear in her hand. The girl had long hair and a handsome face that looked heroic. She stared at Xiao Jiang with a pair of red and phoenix eyes, clearly unconvinced.
The girl was very cute, but Xiao Jiang didn't recognize her. He led the horse forward and was about to go around the girl and leave, but the silver gun in the girl's hand suddenly blocked Xiao Jiang. She said in a voice like a silver bell:
"Prince Xiao, I have heard for a long time that your martial arts skills are unrivaled. I am Ma Yun of Xiliang. My strength in Xiliang is not among the top five. If you can defeat me, I will recognize you as the best in the world. Otherwise, you
From now on, no one should consider themselves number one in the world."
Xiao Jiang looked at the girl curiously. He didn't expect that the legendary Ma Chao's sister Ma Yun would come here and challenge himself. He said with a smile:
"I have never said that I am the best in the world. This is just a rumor from others. Miss Ma is a master at first glance. Xiao Jiang thinks he is invincible and will not claim to be first or second in the future. I wonder if Miss Ma will let me pass.
What?"
Ma Yun was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Xiao Jiang was about to leave, she stood in front of Xiao Jiang with a quick step, her heart tightened and she said with a pout:
"No, if you don't fight me, how will I know if it's a rumor? If you win, according to my family's rules, I will marry you as my concubine. If I win, you will have to be my follower, but naturally you are the prince.
It is impossible to be a follower, so you must tell the world that I defeated you."
Xiao Jiang was a little depressed. Isn't this little girl wasting time when she had nothing to do? He also planned to go back and study the origin of life with Diao Chan. This Ma Yun? Although she is also a beauty, she is nothing in his family. As for family background, status, military force, etc.
, he won't even care.
But seeing Ma Yun's insistent expression, Xiao Jiang glanced at her pretty heart and said:
"Miss Ma, if you really become my concubine, won't your family object?"
Ma Yun curled his lips and said:
"No one in my family has ever broken their word, so I became your concubine. To them, it is an honor. It proves that there is a man who can beat me."
Xiao Jiang nodded and said:
"Since you're not worried, then take action. I'll give you a chance to take action first, otherwise you probably won't even have a chance to take action."
Ma Yunlu was stunned and then stared. She retreated and turned her body, and her whole body suddenly popped up like a bowed shrimp. The silver gun in her hand turned into silver light and poked out a spray of gun flowers.
"drink."
As soon as the shout came out of Ma Yunlu's mouth, she felt like her whole body was stunned. The silver spear that stabbed out seemed to be entangled with billions of threads and could not move at all. She looked at it in shock and saw that Xiao Jiang's left index finger was just right.
Clamping the tip of the gun, it seems as if these two fingers are as motionless as the five mountains suppressing everything.
Ma Yunlu is very powerful, but no matter whether she pulls or pulls, the silver gun stays in place more stably than a tree with roots. After breaking it twice, Ma Yunlu let go of his hand and pouted and said:
"The prince is indeed unparalleled in his domineering attitude. Ma Yunlu showed up in shame and showed up. I admit that I am not your enemy. I will be your concubine from now on. You can do anything you want me to do."
Ma Yunlu is a charlatan, and he must keep his word. After she let go of her hand, she directly performed the concubine ceremony on Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang turned his fingers and put the silver gun on the ground and said:
"Come with me and tell me your origins. I don't want people with unknown origins around me."
Ma Yunlu pouted and said:
"My father is Ma Teng from Xiliang. I have an older brother, Ma Tie, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, a cousin, Ma Dai, and an uncle, Ma Yi. The family situation is like this. I will become your concubine. From now on, the Ma family will be my mother's family. How can the prince be a concubine?
All support it.”
Xiao Jiang touched his chin and said:
"Ma family, then I need to make careful plans next time."
Ma Yunlu didn't know what Xiao Jiang was planning, because for the next few days she would have to stay at the inn and be taken care of by Diao Chan, otherwise it would be difficult for her to even wash up. As for why, those who didn't understand could only face the wall and think about it.
One and a half months have passed since Liu Bian's death, and the changes in the world have become complicated again, because the princes from all sides have fully launched wars against each other in order to survive for a long time.
In the court hall, Xiao Jiang flipped through the thick memorial and said with a joking smile:
"My lords, it seems that I, as the supervisor of the country, have nothing to do. Orders will change even if they are not sent thousands of miles away. Not to mention whether everyone obeys or not, look at the current chaos. How can I stabilize the world? I am here in Chang'an.
A free king?"
Shi Sunduan had already read the memorial. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Gongsun Zan's crusade against Liu Yu, the governor of the state, was considered the following. Zhang Lu separatized Hanzhong and went to war with Liu Yan, completely ignoring the official documents of the imperial court. Yuan Shu of Nanyang disrupted Yangzhou, and Cao Cao's independent governor of Yanzhou became increasingly rampant.
Tao Gongzu only cared about his own one-third of an acre. Liu Biao worked hard to expand his territory and had no scruples about the clan. Jiangdong Yan Baihu, Sun Jian and others fought and killed each other just for the territory. The dominance of the Jiaozhou scholar family was even more separatist.
state.
Ever since the Xiliang army had no owner and the cholera epidemic broke out in Yongzhou, the prince dispatched Ma Teng and others to suppress it. I don’t know how long it will take for Yongzhou to stabilize. Everything is difficult. The only good news is that several clans and princes have agreed to the prince’s title of king.
, I feel that in such troubled times, the prince should be called King Wu to show his name of suppression."
Kong Rong came out and said:
"I feel that it is not appropriate to call me King Wu. Although the world is in chaos, and the princes are fighting and annexing each other, the imperial court is still there. We must convince others with virtue and subdue others. I decided that it is best to call me King of Virtue."
Xiao Jiang felt so embarrassed. What he said about King Wu and De Wang didn't sound normal. Yang Biao came out and said:
"I feel that a virtuous king is not enough. The world is in chaos. We need both lofty moral character and civil and military skills. The prince's civil and political governance in Qingzhou can be regarded as an example for the world. He can sweep away thieves and gangsters without defeating the ministers, which shows his martial arts. When his achievements are high, he is not arrogant, and when he is high, he is not oppressive.
It can be seen that people are highly virtuous and respected.
If you are a one-word king, you must have a name that reflects your abilities as a prince and a title that can shock the world. Only in this way can you stabilize the world."
Shi Sunduan and Kong Rong thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Everyone at the scene began to discuss Xiao Jiang's account. After a long time, everyone gradually unified their thoughts. Finally, Shi Sun Duan said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, after everyone's deliberation, we feel that it is best to grant the title of Hebei to the Prince. Firstly, the Prince has already taken control of Jizhou. It is also the hope of the people of Jizhou. It is also everyone's hope that the Han Dynasty will continue to prosper, and it will also give the people of the world hope."
Xiao Jiang complained in his heart, this was not as good as King Wu and King De, but they could do whatever they wanted to give Zuo the great Han Dynasty hope. He had only one word in his mind - bah.
Xiao Jiang said one thing, but he was thinking another thing in his heart. These ministers are all old and will have to enter a replacement period in a few years at most. As long as a new batch of ministers appear, no matter what the new monarch or the old monarch, everyone will probably be replaced.
There will be no such thing as raising a new king.
